Make Poverty Die
There are people living in the world I know can't help themselves
Left there all alone like an old toy left there up on the shelf
All they need is some aid with some food and some water
Being born into starvation like lambs to the slaughter
They'll do anything just to survive
They'll try anything just to stay alive
They don't need you to stand there and cry
What they need is from you is make the poverty die
And help them survive, just a chance to stay alive
Hiding out in cardboard boxes like snails in their shells
Shoppers walk past them and hope that they will all go to hell
Fighting back the freezing temperatures like naked Eskimos
Praying that this year is not their time when it all begins to snow
They'll do anything just to survive
They'll try anything just to stay alive
They don't need you to stand there and cry
What they need from you is make the poverty die
And help them survive, just a chance to stay alive
Disease is common place in all those overcrowded ghettos
Another country turns a blind eye and pretends that they don't know
Trying to feed their kids before themselves their stomachs start to swell
These images scar the world but they forget them just as quick as well
They'll do anything just to survive
They'll try anything just to stay alive
They don't need you to stand there and cry
What they need from you is make the poverty die
And help them survive, just a chance to stay alive
Just a little bit of money will goes a long long long long way
Helping them extend their life and hopefully they will then stay
They will then see the future through those optimistic eyes
They are no different from us we all live under the same sky
They'll do anything just to survive
They'll try anything just to stay alive
They don't need you to stand there and cry
What they need from you is make the poverty die
And help them survive, just a chance to stay alive
Life on for Size
You sit there and mock me as I stand afar
You think that you're better than me cause you have a car
And you throw paper at me as I stand on my own
I know that its paper but it hurts me like stone
Because one day I'm gonna try your life on for size
Because one day I'm gonna try your life on for size
And your girlfriend she looks at me when you are not there
You give her a kiss on the cheek but I see she doesn't care
And you think that you're better than me as you stand there in your clothes
I think that she likes me but no one else knows
Because one day I'm gonna try your life on for size
Because one day I'm gonna try your life on for size
And Friday night comes around and she gives me a kiss
The next time you throw stuff I stand there and watch it miss
And the classroom all laughed at you as you started to cry
But I knew that from that day the bullying would die
Because that day I tried your life on for size
Because that day I tried your life on for size
From that day forward I held my head high
I married your girlfriend and we live in the sky
And nobody bothered us any day or anytime
I'm wearing your life but the difference is this time it's mine
Because one day I'm gonna try your life on for size
Because one day I'm gonna try your life on for size
Because one day I'm gonna try your life on for
One day I'm gonna try your life on for
One day I'm gonna try your life on for size
One Way Ticket
I think that I like you as I walked into that overcrowded bar
I think that I like you as I noticed you across the room afar
I think that I like you as you stood there in your little mini skirt
I think that I like you as I stand here in my famous pulling shirt
I know you're gonna make me pay the full fare, yeah
I know I want the one way ticket yeah, yeah
I think that I like you as I took you out for that very special meal
I think that I like you and the way you look at me and make me feel
I think that I like you as I turned around and asked you to marry me
I think that I like you as I turned around cause I could already see
I know you're gonna make me pay the full fare, yeah
I know I want the one way ticket yeah, yeah
I think that I like you as we stand here and watch our children being born
I think that I like you as they looked with love and looked at me with scorn
I think that I like you as we wondered round our childrens new school
I think that I like you as they called you Mum and looked at me like a fool
And I know you're gonna make me pay the full fare, yeah
I know I want the one way ticket yeah, yeah
I think that I like you as our grandchildren came round our house to play
I think that I like you even though we're old and we both are going grey
I think that I like you after all these years your still there holding me tight
I think that I like you even though your wrong you always think your right
I know you're gonna make me pay the full fare, yeah
I know I want the one way ticket yeah, yeah
And I know you're gonna make me pay the full fare, yeah
I know I want the one way ticket yeah, yeah
I think that I like you as I lie next to you in this hospital bed
I think that I like you as they turned around and confirmed that you were dead
I think that I like you and some day soon we'll meet up there in the sky
I think that I like you and everyday I pray that I will soon die
I know you're gonna make me pay the full fare, yeah
I know I want the one way ticket there, yeah
Smile Again
I don't know where I'm going or if I'm coming back
The dawn is breaking and I've got my own back pack
I know I hurt you deep inside
I know I ran away to hide
But I need to see a friend to make me smile again
But I need to see a friend to make me smile again
I don't know where I'm going or if it's the right time
She says I'm hers but I think I am mine
I can't believe we lasted that long
I'm glad I'm free yeah, cause I feel strong
But I need to see a friend to make me smile again
Yeah I need to see a friend to make me smile again
Don't try and stop me now I'm on my way
I won't look back cause I don't want to stay
And don't blame me for your misgivings
I think I finally feel like I'm living
But I need to see a friend to make me smile again
Yes I need to see a friend to make me smile again
I don't know where I'm going as long as it's not here
I think I'm finally moving in fifth gear
But I don't ever want to be that man
I think I finally, finally understand
That I need to see my friends to make me smile again
Yes I need to see my friends to make me smile again
Yes I need to see my friends to make me smile again
I Know
Yes I know that you're home alone, but I know you can talk on the phone
And I know that you think you're sad, but if I stayed I'd only make you mad
Cause I know you're better off without me, yes I know you're better off without me
I know you buy those meals for one, but I know I don't eat much anyway
And I know you never packed my bag, but I know you don't want me to stay
Cause I know you're better off without me, yes I know you're better off without me
But I know that I'm not by your side, but I'm not the right man that you will have to find
And I know the TV's your company, but if you look then you will surely see
Cause I know you're better off without me, yes I know you're better off without me
But I know that those dates are chores, but if you find the right man he will be yours
And I know that if we were meant to be then we will have to leave it down to destiny
Cause I know you're better off without me, yes I know you're better off without me
I know I'm coming back for you, and one and one will hopefully soon be two
And I know that you miss me to, but I know I will always love you
Cause I know you're better off without me, yes I know you're better off without me
But I know I will always love you
Only Sin
Yes I'm disappointed but there's not much I can say
Cause our time is short together cause we're going away
So let us laugh and talk and sing until the night falls in
Cause our last night together is our sin
The candles are lit and the rug is on the ground
And all I hear is your voice and the love that is the sound
So let us laugh and talk and sing until the night falls in
Cause our last night together is our sin
The world is your oyster and there's no place you can't go
So send me a postcard of the places and the shows
So let us laugh and talk and sing until the night falls in
Cause our last night together is our sin
So let us laugh and dance and sing and make love all the night
Cause I will keep on waving until that you are out of sight
So let us laugh and dance and sing until the night falls in
Cause our last night together is our sin
So let us laugh and talk and sing and make love all the night
Cause I will keep on waving until that you are out of sight
So let us laugh and dance and sing until the night falls in
Cause our last night together is our sin
So let us laugh and dance and sing as we always do
Cause I know that I won't forget you
Harmony
I'm sitting here I'm in the shade and watch the sun passing over me
People all around the beach and mermaids swimming in the sea
Castles all around the sand and couples throwing a frisbie
But I sit and smell the air and drink away on my ice tea
So I just relax and I smile with my memories
Cause my time away from everything is my harmony
I'm sitting here I'm on a lift there's people skiing down below
Boarding all around the piste there's adults falling in the snow
My Goggles start to steam up but I keep going to keep the flow
Going past those learning schools they're there all day cause they're so slow
But I just relax and I smile with my memories
Cause my time away from everything is my harmony
I'm sitting here I'm in a bar I watch the locals passing by
Pebbles all around the rocks there's not a cloud up in the sky
Continental food around and little kids they start to cry
Waiters all around the girls but they sit there cause they're so shy
But I just relax and I smile with my memories
Cause time away from everything is my harmony
I'm sitting here I'm in my porch cause I love camping in the rain
Blisters all around my feet cause I'm up today cause I'll walk again
All across the rugged fells cause nether one is ever the same
Sit here and I read my map then I take my bag and take the strain
So I just relax and I smile with my memories
Cause time away from everything is my harmony
So I just relax and I smile with my memories
Cause my time away is my perfect harmony
Hope
Another couple walks into the orphanage and they just turn and smile
Filling out the paperwork they know that it could take a while
But they know that some day it will be their time
And praying that someone somewhere will call me mine
As they turn around they start to wonder how and why they ended up in this place
As couple turns around they see the disappointment written on their face
But they know that some day it will be their time
And praying that someone somewhere will call me mine
But they know that darkness follows light
And they know that life is one big fight
But they know that someday it will all be right
Walking hand in hand a Mum and Dad that they can finally call their own
A picket fence, a spotted dog, a place that they can finally call their home
But they know that some day it will be their time
Praying that someone somewhere will call me mine
But they know that darkness follows light
And they know that life is one big fight
But they know that someday it will all be right
But they know that some day it will be their time
Praying that someone somewhere will call me mine
Cause they know that some day it will be their time
Strong
I woke this morning and I knew that life begins
No more drinking no more chocolate and no sin
Don't cry yourself to sleep, start today and not next week
Smile you know I'm not wrong, you're great, you're clever and you're strong
No more office job and no more stress
A trip abroad and a chance of happiness
Don't cry yourself to sleep start today and not next week
Smile you know I'm not wrong, You're great, you're clever and you're strong
A final chance to leave cardboard city
A new place new people it will be pretty
Don't cry yourself to sleep start today and not next week
Smile you know I'm not wrong, You're great, you're clever and you're strong
Don't wait for me I won't be coming back
The life of luxury no more sleeping on a dirt track
Don't cry yourself to sleep start today and not next week
Smile you know I'm not wrong, You're great, you're clever and you're strong
I woke this morning and I knew that life began
No more drinking no more chocolate and I sang
Didn't cry myself to sleep started yesterday and not next week
Smile you know I'm not wrong, your great your clever but I'm strong
Goodbye
The train in the station, and on board is my lover
But I thought that I needed her, but she's here with another
But I know that I'm still blinded by her stars up in the sky
But I know that I must say goodbye
And she rings me, but I don't answer
She asks me to sing for her, but I say I'm a dancer
But I know that I'm still blinded by her stars up in the sky
But I know that I must say goodbye
And things went from bad to worse, she asked me to change
I thought that its not my fault its her not me that's strange
But I know that I'm still blinded by her stars up in the sky
But I know that I must say goodbye
The train leaves the station, now shes gone away
I think that is too late to ask her to stay
But I know that I'm still blinded by her stars up in the sky
But I know that I must say goodbye
But a Wiseman said to me, that things don't have to be
If you don't want to then you don't have to say goodbye
Cause I know that I'm still blinded by her stars up in the sky
And I know that I don't ever want to say goodbye
Cause I know that I'm still blinded by her stars up in the sky
And hopefully in the morning then she will be saying hi
Not Goodbye
